The Curse of Feeling
by
Emma - Louise Braiden
There are times on this journey of life where i just want to give thanks to a greater entity for the gift of living. i become overwhelmed by all that is true, pure and positive; my heart feels in all intensity, that life is worthwhile -and i feel for a fleeting moment, the fear of loosing it all.
There are also times when loosing life does not seem so horribly wrong. these are the moments where i am overwhelmed by all that is true, unequal and negative; my heart becomes bogged down by these emotions and my head forms a haze. i can not breathe without feeling the effort. "its like glass in my head, everyday..." a beautiful man once said.
For me its an old patchwork blanket, suffocatingly heavy and dark when drapped over your entire body. yet to look at it from above, you can appreciate it for its intricate detail and beauty - the greater design - Life.
